Um, Cristiano Ronaldo’s twins came via surrogate, not from his girlfriend.

I feel like you don’t need to compare sexism to racism to get your point across because it’s already a thing. Like, we already had a name for it, people know what it is.

Exactly. They cancelled it like 5 minutes after they released the 2nd season. Cruel and unkind.

Oh my god, no, not at all. For one thing, Issa and Molly’s friendship is actually a friendship, not a relationship of convenience and oneupsmanship. They have their disagreements but there’s real love there. But that’s just one example. How on earth did you get the impression that it’s a Girls sort of show?

YES!

Lol, it’s not like Girls. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Dunham or I think Issa Rae is bomb, but I don’t see the similarities other than they both have female leads.

NO.

they are stuck in detention, cleaning out an attic...they would do anything to entertain themselves..a board game would be perfect...

Yeah, this movie appears to be Jumanji in name only.

You are wrong. This looks like utter crap. oh the Jock gets turned into a tiny weakling!!! the hot girl gets turned into a fat middle aged man! the loner gets turned into a hot chick! the nerd gets turned into a buff handsome man!!

Counterpoint: even if the original Jumanji didn’t exist, this movie still looks like hot garbage.

But it’s completely inverse of the concept. Someone else commented the book was all about the adventure of a normal kid being dropped into the jungle. What happens when your boring world gets transformed into this crazy jungle scene?

I agree with the author that none of the jokes were original, and it does look like a generic action movie. But if that’s your cup of tea we got no right to knock that.

You should check out the original. It’s a fun, low key adventure flick. There’s lots of fun moments, no superpowers, lots of heart, and no useless scenes. It’s really a lot of fun.

But that’s the thing. If they just called this “Welcome to the Jungle” maybe I see the trailer, get a chuckle, and give it a try when it comes around on Redbox or Netflix.

They seem to have special abilities here and this being a video game it seems there aren’t any real stakes.

THIS. It’s not really about “ruining my childhood” and such, but more about.... losing the sense of adventure the original story had. Where you, a normal kid with no special abilities, are suddenly invaded by these fantastical things from a board game. They seem to have special abilities here and this being a video…

Oh dear. I’ve never felt older than reading comments here from people comparing this film “to the original” as if it were a remake and having no idea that Jumanji was a book first.

Of course it did. That’s the best scene in any movie, ever.
